Hannah Stephenson, student body president at Preston High School, is spending the next several weeks in Boise as a page at the Idaho Legislature. She is one of seven high school seniors from around the state to do so.
Stephenson began her term on Monday, Jan. 11, and will work for six weeks, until Feb. 19. She was assigned to work with the education committee, and is the assistant to Sen. Steven Thayne from Emmett. She has taken minutes, was keeper of the door, has run errands, delivered mail and made copies. In addition to the education she is getting, she is also bringing home a paycheck â but she doesnât know how much that will be yet, she said. Payday hadnât come and definitely wasnât the reason she wanted the job.
